A few key takeaways:

  • Bitcoin treasuries now hold nearly one-third of bitcoin supply: Centralized treasuries—including governments, ETFs, and public companies—now control 30.9% of the circulating supply of bitcoin, signaling a growing shift toward institutional-grade infrastructure.
  • Centralized exchanges, ETFs and derivatives dominate transfer volume: Centralized exchanges, U.S. spot crypto ETFs, and regulated derivatives platforms now account for more than 75% of bitcoin’s adjusted transfer volume, a notable increase from previous years.
  • Volatility has trended downward: As adoption has broadened, particularly across sovereign and regulated financial entities, annualized realized volatility across all time frames has declined consistently since 2018. Although bitcoin remains a risk-on asset, its integration into traditional finance has made price action more consistent and less driven by speculative extremes.
  • How the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could impact BTC: For sovereign allocators like the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, $1 invested has the potential to generate up to $25 in short-term market cap expansion—and ~$1.70 in long-term structural value.
FACT: they own nothing, just IOUs...

Yes, but somebody is holding the coins. And it's not exactly a widely diversified group of entities...

Yes, I do not deny that. There's a mafia in place: exchanges and big miners holding most of it. Then they go to these ETFs and so called "BSR" and say "here is your BTC IOU, now you can say publicly that you "own" x amount of BTC. You can even sign PoR if you like".
Exactly like Bitfinex did with so called El Salvador "reserve". They just provide a public BTC address and Bukele can brag with it publicly on twatter.
IT'S ALL A GAME OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

This!
And remember... they already have in place all the shitty algorithms to "manage" those IOU, if you use IOU currency, you are playing their game, and you will lose.
Move your BTC to you own custody, use it. It's our only weapon.

This is starting to get kinda worrying. A third is a lot, and the way things are going, it’ll be at 50% in no time.

A third is a lot... 10% isn't.

Can you make that clearer?
reply
Because I don't think Saylor and high-freq trading volume on Binance are the same
reply
So, where’d that 10% come from?
Meh, counting exchanges... which are some two-thirds of it.
